Eldrum: Untold - Text RPG 12+

This gave me fun flashbacks of “choose your own adventure” books when I was a teenager, 35 years ago. I could easily see this developer coming out with a series of these games with different stories, plots, and characters. Even different genres. This game has a medieval setting but in a fictional world. But they could easily do SCIF-Fi, modern-day stories, period pieces, etc. (WW1, WW2, Cold War, European history, etc.). This could be a whole new genre of video games in the App Store. They could create fictional characters which lived during famous historical events, and develop fictional side-plots that were happening alongside the major historical events. One of the best things about this game is it uses your own imagination. You become immersed, but in your own imagination. The artwork is more impressionistic instead of High Definition, so it allows a lot of room for the story to come alive in your own mind, just like reading a book or listening to radio theatre. And the coding is much simpler, so the development time should be much shorter and less expensive moving forward. I think they are onto a great idea here. I hope they make many more. I was left with the feeling like I read a good book. A very nice change from stereotypical video games. Well done guys!

I enjoyed this game immensely, the story is great, the characters as well, but I have two complaints, the combat, in what I’m pretty sure is an intentional move, is very Chance based, which sounds fine, but sort of just leads to a lot of save scumming, and my second complaint is about the ending, I had no qualms with the story until the ending, I thought that when I arrived in the big city, it would be the gateway to the rest of the continent, but (SPOILERS)

After fighting Mantis in the Sleep Temple, I was completely take off guard by the ending, I thought I was about 3/4 through the game, but no. The suddenness of the ending is a small thing though, my main problem with the ending is that it doesn’t give much closure, what happened to Ato, the island druids (I forgot the exact name of the lodge) etc etc. I was just left wanting more, which is good, but a little too much so, to the point where I felt like the story was only partly finished. Great game though, I hope there’s a sequel.

This is such a cool game!
There are a couple aspects that made me enjoy the game, first of all NO ADS. The game is only 5$ for the entire game, and it is definitely a smart move made by the devs Rather than spamming the game with ads. When a game has ads it makes the gameplay so much less... admirable. Every developer has to have a way to make money and this was the best approach.
The gameplay itself is great as well, its a great and balanced game that is full of challenges! Rather than just winning every match you have to play with strategy and think about every move. Another cool aspect is the variety, there are different play styles for every body and for example you could be a brute with lots of health and dmg or a stealthy and agile character. If your a new player i have one tip for you, upgrade your perception at least a little, by doing this you can find extra content and find more secrets. All in all one of the best games ive ever played.
